Synopsis

This book is a spiritual diary from the 18th-century and reveals the daily struggles of a Quaker who devotes his life to serving others as both a medical doctor and an elder in his Quaker community. It includes his personal reflections on Christian doctrine, the Quaker way of life, and his observations on the social and religious movements of his time. The author was deeply influenced by the teachings of Thomas _Kempis_, the Port Royalists, and the early Methodists and this book provides a unique look at the intersection between faith and reason during an age of great social and religious change in England. Through his extensive writings, the author grapples with many timeless themes, such as divine love, the nature of good and evil, the importance of humility, and the need for true spiritual transformation.
